Craft is on its way to becoming a mixture of task manager and note app these days ;) I don't know if I should like it. I still prefer Apple Notes because it just gets the job done. Bear, well... slightly better formatting with Markdown, but I struggle with this tag-based system. I'm just used to using folders. Do you still favour Craft and do you use the task function or do you use a task manager?
@ Let's say you have an event in your calendar. Maybe a meeting. You want your notes to. be associated with that event. Drag a note from Apple Notes into an Apple calendar event on Mac. What happens? NOTHING USEFUL. You'd expect it to put a link to that note in the event. No. It's worse than if you use a note app like Bear or Evernote, that allows you to copy the note to link and past it in. That works great. But, of course, Apple - who love their reputation for having such an "amazing" ecosystem, can't even allow you to easily links information in your notes with the events you need the notes for. So you have to put the date of the event into the note, so you can find it later. In Bear, you can insert today's date with one shortcut key (cmd+shift+9). In Notes? No way, that would be convenient, therefore Apple don't let you do it. You have to first create a shortcut... which only works some of the time on Mac... Apple still can't get basics like this right, and apps that are Apple-only, like Bear, have been spanking them in design terms for YEARS. Bear has everything I just described since 2016 at least.
Thank you for this video! I really like Bear but i don't want to pay 3$ only for synchronisation. After your video I find out more about UpNote. I will try it and maybe I will buy app lifetime
You can also use MonsterWriter for note-taking. The new markdown block allows you to break out of the structured writing mode of MonsterWriter and also provides a very nice introduction to markdown as buttons are available to format your text. No need to memorize the syntax.
Hiya this is from a while ago but I was hoping you could help possibly, I’ve been trying to get pixelmon on my Minecraft on Chromebook and it keeps crashing when I try make a world with an exit code 9. Thank you :D
@@ryanillusionapples notes does not support markdown, which is why there are dedicated plugins to try to fix this. The only “markdown” I have been able to use is a hyphen and space to create an unordered list.
@@ryanillusion Yeah, but no. Backlinks are automatic in Bear, Obsidian and many others, which means it's trivially easy to find which note links to which note in either direction. Apple Notes requires a workaround, which is not the same thing. Apple haven't managed this, even though other apps have 10 years ago. And "All the functionality of markdown" ISN'T markdown, the whole point of which is interoperability. You can't export your note from Apple Notes, import in into any markdown-compatible app and keep your formatting. I can do that between Bear and Obsidian, for example. But of course, Apple don't want you to be able to export your data, because they want you to be nice and locked into their ecosystem / walled garden.

I'm still an Apple Reminders user right now - I find it fits well into my calendar system too.

Nice review.
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Thanks for this cool video 😁, all that’s left to do is advertise it
Don't sleep on UpNote, people. It sometimes gets overlooked. It's incredibly good. It's become my Evernote replacement.

Agenda!
No OCR, no nestable tags, doesn't respect Apple's key shortcuts (like space to preview a file).
it RUclipsErs
If you're an Apple user , I highly recommend Sticking with Apple Notes
No backlinks. No markdown. Bear solves both.
@@yuchoobThe video literally mentions how you can backlink in Apple Notes
And you have all the functionality of Markdown
